Ominous pads and cool use of SFX. I like the subtle introduction of the rhythm and cool organ melody. Song creates a tense vibe, nice.

Cool rock song, felt the drums could've been brought up a bit. 

Cool ambient soundscape and I like the instrumentation, clean mix. 

The instrumentation lends this piece a Caribbean feel. IMO, the lower pitched steel drum repeating its phrase could've been brought down in volume a bit, and the higher pitched steel drum pushed up a bit, to help the melody stand out a bit more.

That really cool moment at the beginning, when the thunder and bass hit simultaneously. Hard-hitting, dynamic electronica. I like the key section at 1:30, provides nice contrast with the more aggressive sections. Gets a bit groovy around 2:30. Really fun song.

Dramatic opening that makes good use of tremolos and harmonic tension to create an uneasy vibe. I like that you spread the melody around to different instruments, kept the piece nice and dynamic. Lots of reverb... creates a sense of immense scale, though at times I felt the reverb was a little too much and created a mushy texture that crowded out other parts (such as the cello at 1:40), particularly during the fast string runs. That said, this was a very cool cinematic piece.

Just FYI, the link that you have listed under "Link to Streaming Service" isn't working (the video under "thunder and rain's itch.io page" does work). Nice, relaxing song that makes good use of SFX. I like the sax solo. 

Very cool, visceral percussion in this one. I felt the "chopper" pad in the first half could've been decrescendoed soon after the arp was introduced (and shortly after it returns at 2:00) so it's not competing for the listener's attention with the more dynamic parts. 

Reverb on the synth arps creates a sense of space. Flanger on the drums is a cool effect, though mixing in some of the dry signal would help its tone feel a little less hollow IMO. Still, a neat song.

I like the composition of this piece, really leads the viewer's eyes first to the dancing couple and then to the cool fiddler in the back. It's a dynamic piece that tells a story. The backlighting and sparkles add a warm vibe to the piece.

Adorable cat character and the noise texture layered on the piece gives it a children's storybook vibe. 

Dramatic dawn scene and I like the hatching-like texture added to the thatch roof (hatching thatching!), though considering how far the lit area extends across the roof relative to how far the lit area extends on other objects, I'm left a little confused as to the direction of the light source. Still, really nice evocative piece. 

Very crisp pixel art (pixel perfect as far as I can tell). Nice use of 2 point perspective and I like the contrast between the cool colors of the exterior and the warm colors of the interior. 

Absolutely loved this bright and cheerful song and really nice piano performance, though at 1:12 and 1:15 the piano came in just behind the beat.

Very interesting piece. Begins with call and response melody and its variations before fading into a reverb/pad ambient noisescape and then the melody returns. The structure of the song really nails your interpretation of the art representing a dream. The melody itself reminded me a little of Ocarina of Time's windmill theme mixed with a bit of Final Fantasy Tactics.

Really like this one. Starts tense, moody and mysterious. Really nice transition at 0:40. Then becomes triumphant and adventurous.

Really like the guitar intro, though I felt the transition to the symphonic section could've been smoother (perhaps introduce the wind pedalpoint as the guitar phrase is ending?). Symphonic section is well orchestrated. String melody is adventurous and I like the clarinet counterpoint. Cello provides a nice warm texture. 

Whimsical vibe overall, at times waltzy where the low strings are providing rhythm. Good use of counterpoint and instrumentation works well. Nice piece.

Like the harp run as the intro. Flute was a little loud. Very playful melodies, nice song.

Personal preference, but I felt the high pitches could've been tamed a  little with an EQ. Bass and pads successfully provide an ominous undercurrent to the song (run child, you're about to be consumed by the purple monster!).

Nice moment when the strings come in. Bell melody takes over the motiff established by the piano nicely. I liked the variation of the motiff the second time the bell plays it. Percussion provides a sense of movement and doesn't overpower the melody.

I actually wasn't criticizing the dissonance in the bells, merely making a note of it. Dissonance can be an effective tool at times to create tension, as it does in this song.

Guitar and bongo immediately create beachy vibes. Wasn't too fond of the white noise rhythm. Lovely guitar melodies and I like the brass accompaniment. Gets unexpectedly dissonant at 3:20. Overall a very nice song that fits the theme. 

Nice flute melody at the beginning. I like the horn and flute melody & counterpart. The legato horn melody that followed was quite lovely. Very soft and gentle timbre. Felt the staccato strings could've been brought down a tad, they feel a little aggressive for this song (maybe pizzicato strings would be a good alternative there?).

Lovely song, very sentimental. Only critique is that I felt the instruments carrying the melodies were a little overpowered by the harmonies. 

Cool drum n' bass song. IMO the bass drum sample could've been brought down a bit to let the synths and pads have a bit more space (and maybe bring up the cymbal sample).

Volume was a bit soft. Lovely clarinet duet. Harp melody & cello work well in the third section. 

First 12 seconds are barely audible. When the drums and guitar come in the song becomes a nice rock ballad. I thought the chord progression at 0:27 worked well to create some tension. Felt the synth at 0:40 could've used a low pass filter to tame some of the higher frequencies, let the listener focus on the bass phrase. The melody at 1:06 is nice.

Bells seem a bit dissonant. Low pad provides an ominous tone to the piece. Pitch bend was cool. Song successfully creates a creepy vibe.

Really f-ing cool! 

I like the bell melody around the minute mark. Bit of a triumphant vibe towards the end. Tbh I felt more could've been done with the first thirty seconds... not much is going on there. 

Lovely piano melody at 0:34. Really like the bells at 0:57. The section around 1:22 provided some nice variation. I like the slowing tempo around 1:55 and the stuttering melody, really communicates that the hero isn't long for this world. Good job!

Exciting fast paced tune, nice! The section around the minute mark is quite menacing. I like the counterpoint around 1:36. The song ends rather suddenly... I felt the dueling melodies could've been explored a bit more.

Intense percussion rhythms and cool synth sound design. Started getting a Blue Man Group vibe around 1:50ish. IMO the synth doing the melody starting at 0:44 gets a little overpowered by the tremolo pad and percussion.

Nice song overall. The transition at 0:40 took me by surprise. Around 2:40 the tuba's brash resonance kinda' overpowered the horn melody... perhaps an EQ or filter to tame the higher pitches of the tuba would help the melody stand out?

Nice dynamics, beautiful harmonies, instrumentation was spot on. IMO the horn at 1:15 was a little loud compared to the rest of the mix.

Gentle and moody, bit of a melancholy vibe. Low string introduced at 0:50 adds some tension which resolves sweetly at 1:03. Like the key change at 1:24. Nice moment at 1:41 when the strings return and builds into a beautiful climax. Really enjoyable piece.

Very interesting sound design. 

Song nicely gradually builds up in intensity as instruments are introduced. Cool pitch bends.

Nice deep tone on the piano at the beginning. I like the bell arpeggio and a nice pad layered on the strings. The transition to the percussion/distorted synth section works well and I like the percussion rhythm.
